Not necessarily even that. The car would be within tolerance for its second service if the first service is carried out on time.
The interval is 12 months or 15,500 miles (or was on mine). Unfortunately I passed 15,500 miles at 11 months old and only did 13k miles in the following 13 months, of which 5k were in months 12 and 13.
This meant that I couldn't hand the car back with FSH unless I either gave it back in December, paid up to the end date (three months before my new car would be ready, although I could have ordered something else), or got the second service done. It was pretty marginal financially but it was easier to keep the car and get the service done.
Mercedes has liquidated damages for missed or non-franchise services of £1k, so it must go back with FSH.
So on a normal 24 month lease if you do less than the service miles you won't have to do the 2nd service? Am i correct ? As you will be handing it back more or less on the 2 year interval. This has probably been gone over before my apologies if it has.The interval is 12 months or 15,500 miles (or was on mine).

Having missed the Tiguan deals a couple of weeks ago, I'm now in the position to get something sorted.
I've had a look around, but any recommendations appreciated.

Pretty much, yes, unless there is something else in the contract, and I can't guarantee that the finance company won't assume that something is there and behave as if it is, even if it's missing...solartravels said:
Looks like my decision may have already been made for me: the Merc C class estate deal has disappeared from the vehiclesforbusiness site and I still haven't received a quote on it.
The have a feed error apparently to their web database - were inundated with requests today. Spoke to them and were both helpful and very apologetic. Dave Davies is the guy to talk to.

Question for all... Same car spec;
Business rate : 241.61
Personal lease : 326.99
Why are the personal leases so significantly more than (business plus the VAT)
241x1.2 = 289 vs personal at 326?
Is it just the business model? Or is there a further tax/other recoverable costs that I have not allowed for?

These deals really change quickly! The Merc was a website error and the BMW was quoted incorrectly. Back to square 1!
Well I would hope they at least get in touch to give me tha bad news about the error , as I'm expecting a quote if they just ignore me it will be bad patterrudebhoy said:

I think they will; they were a little swamped today working out what went wrong. Call them; David was very helpful.rudebhoy said:
